In obitum Illustrissimi viri, ROBER∣TI HARLEY, Equitis honora∣tissimi ordinis Balnei.

MUsarum vertex obiit, fidúmque Minervae Palladium, patriae gloria, fama togae. Quem culmen sibi, quem coryphaeum agnóve togati, Quem sibi legerunt omnibus Alpha libris. Pauperibus, quorum tenuis sors esse negabat Edoctos, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 utrumque dedit, Nec cessat propriis de vectigalibus haustis Flaminibus stipem larga dicare manus; Quin nummis puduit perituris parcere, major Cui proventus opes non habuisse fuit. Cumque ipso navem quisquam conscendit eandem, Cui virtus fuerat, cui cynosura fides. Eximium hinc meritus titulum, non ille creatus Sed proprio fuerat munere factus eques. Quippe suas sumpsit solâ virtute secures, Ipse sibi Consul, fascis & ipse sibi. Quem nec honor, nec seduxit commissa potestas, Sed regere & populum novit, & imperium; Quotquot Jacobo numerabat rege senatus Anglia, te vivo (Carole) quotquot erat, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Senatoris toties excepit, & haeres Successórque fuit continuò ipse suus. Hunc duo Postremi tantúm exclusere senatus, Et solùm canâ fronte Senator erat. Tandem obiens cecinit Servum dimitte salute, Vitâ, quae tecum condita (Christe) fuit. Plenâ mente, fide, possis ut dicere rursus Vel nasci Christum, vel Simeona mori.
